Millionaire is robbed

Cross Lanes, WV, Aug. 5 - Quite a scare this morning for Powerball jackpot winner Jack Whittaker.




Someone broke into the Scott Depot man's sport-utility vehicle while it was parked outside a Cross Lanes strip club and stole an estimated $545,000.
Kanawha County sheriff's deputies say the money was later recovered behind a dumpster on the property. Deputies say Whittaker arrived at the Pink Pony at about 2:30 am.
Investigators believe the vehicle, which had a busted driver's side window, was broken into after the club closed at 3 am.
The money, about $245,000 in cash and another $300,000 in cashier's checks, was in a briefcase on the passenger seat.
It's not clear why the alleged thief dumped the money.
Another vehicle at the club was also broken into.
Deputies say they have suspects but have made no arrests.
Whittaker is the largest single Powerball jackpot winner ever. He claimed a $113 million cash option after winning the $314.9 million jackpot on Christmas Day.

Now that is what I call a strange person. Why would you keep that kind of cash in your car. Can you imagine that kind of money? Way beyond my wildest dreams. :338:

I know.

Imagine if it didn't get recovered and your worked for a trash company and found it all. That would be nice :D

I saw this guy on tv. He had on bib overalls and a cowboy hat. Really talked like someone just fresh off the farm. Said he was there to buy the strip club. :wacko:

I heard later that he claims he was drugged. The owner and girlfriend were the ones that took the money and made it look like a break in. Hid the money by the dumpster. Like the cops wouldn't look around???
Sounds like the whole group was low on the IQ level! He may not have deserved to be drugged and robbed but to carry that kind of money and leave it in your car??????? :wacko:
